“Long-running successes like MapleStory
and Dungeon&Fighter, along with sustained engagement on FIFA
Online 3 and FIFA Online 3 M, validate our model of making
games that last for years and decades.”

“Nexon had another very strong quarter with consistently strong
performances in our core markets,” said Owen Mahoney, President and
Chief Executive Officer, Nexon. “Long-running successes like MapleStory
and Dungeon&Fighter, along with sustained engagement on FIFA
Online 3 and FIFA Online 3 M, validate our model of making
games that last for years and decades.

“Looking forward, we’re pleased to work with EA on FIFA Online 4,
the sequel to FIFA Online 3, which has continued its growth and
success since it launched in 2013,” Mahoney added. “Our western mobile
studios continue to grow with our strategic acquisition of Pixelberry
Studios – a developer which leads the interactive fiction category and
expands our reach with the deeply underserved female audience. Our
continued goal is to build and launch new experiences that are not just
highly engaging to keep players coming back for years, but also creative
and unique, separating our games from a saturated marketplace. We are
also very excited as we look ahead to our robust pipeline for the fourth
quarter, which will see the full launch of MapleStory2 in China,
where we already have strong early indicators, as well as launches of OVERHIT
and others.”

In China, Dungeon&Fighter’s longevity continues while MapleStory2’s
strong results from Early Access and Open Beta pre-test helped push
revenue above expectations. In Korea, FIFA Online 3 and FIFA
Online 3 M, in their fifth year of service, have continued to grow
and drive strong sales through live game operations. More than two years
since its initial worldwide launch, DomiNations from Big Huge
Games in Maryland saw revenue increase year-over-year in the third
quarter. Big Huge Games has also added two new leadership positions with
a Chief Operating Officer and Creative Director to continue to expand
and build exciting new games.

In the fourth quarter Nexon will be releasing a series of highly
anticipated games, including MapleStory2 in China through our
partner Tencent as well as OVERHIT, the sequel to the critically
acclaimed game HIT. Durango: Wild Lands, the open world
massively multiplayer online role playing game (MMORPG) for mobile
devices which has started pre-registration in Korea during the third
quarter, and Moonlight Blade will be released in 2018.

Constant currency is a non-GAAP measure used to show performance
unaffected by fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates.
Constant currency basis amounts are calculated using the average
foreign currency exchange rates for the comparable period in the
prior year and applied to the current period. As an example, we
calculate royalty revenues from China Dungeon&Fighter by applying
the same CNY/USD, USD/KRW and KRW/JPY exchange rates from last
year's same fiscal quarter.
